A Word From The Founder;
I had entered the Marines as stated and was offered an opportunity to join the Navy's Nuclear Program.
I had achieved one of the highest entrance grades for a Nuclear Test. I was trained on numerous nuclear platforms both surface and submarines.
The Navy is very selective and I served in that program for the next 11 1/2 years. My career was marked by superb performance and I was selected to participate and very competitive programs EEAP and ECP.
I received my Commission as a Naval Supply Officer. My last assignment was Executive Officer at Priority Material Office, Bremerton, WA.
I retired in December 2003 with 22 years of faithful and honorable service.
Sincerely,
Dale Robertson
Dale Robertson is a man of courage and conviction, a rare commodity in today's topsy-turvy world. Dale, is the Founder of the modern day Tea Party and also President of TeaParty.org
Dale Robertson, a public speaker, a family man with a wife and 5 children, has lead Tea Party rallies across America from its inception.
Initially Dale served his nation first as a U.S. Marine. After completing his duties with the Corps, he reenlisted into the U.S. Navy and became a U.S. Naval Officer. During his distinguished time of service, Dale's Battle Group was first to the scene on 9/11 as well as first to launch an offensive in Afghanistan. He was stationed on the USS Sacramento which was the life blood of the Battle Group. He faithfully served our nation with Honor and Integrity, retiring after 22 years.
Dale, is the progeny of a long list of heroes, being 1 of 5 children he assumed the responsibility of the protector of the family after his father's early demise. His father was a decorated Korean War hero suffering as a double amputee Veteran. As a child, Dale proved himself by assisting his step-father, a decorated Vietnam Veteran, who suffered from the result of his tour of Duty. While caring for the family, Dale was an inspirational player in one of the most successful High School sport teams. His history included facing down ethnic gang members while protecting the innocent and the U.S. flag.
Dale Roberson's academic background includes extended training in theology, as well as excelling in the field of Engineering at Southwest College, San Diego, California. He went on to earn a second degree in Political Science at the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Dale's scholastic focus has turned into a true passion for Constitutional Law.
"I discovered the answer too many of America's dilemmas lay squarely on the shoulders of We The People, while economics issues rest in the hands of small business."
Dale Robertson
"We must not define ourselves by the calamities in our lives, but by our resolve to pick up the pieces and move on." Dale Robertson
Being frustrated by "Politics As Usual" this brave man decided to create a new voice, a voice that echoed from the pages of history. The Tea Party was the perfect choice... Why not an organization called the Tea Party? It was too obvious. Our American heritage held the key to unleashing the American Spirit.
The Tea Party dream includes all who possess a strong belief in the foundational Judaic/Christian values embedded in our great founding documents. He believes the responsibility of our beloved nation is entrenched within the hearts of true American Patriots from all walks of life, every race, religion and national origin, all sharing a common belief in the values which made and keep our beloved nation great. This belief led to the creation of the Modern Day Tea party. Many Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Green and Independent Citizens identify with the premises set forth by the newly founded Tea Party movement, striking a chord and ringing true with the American Spirit.
"It is the Constitution that is inherently conservative, not a party. I believe there must be a beacon to the masses who have lost their way, a light illuminating the path to the original intentions of our Founding Fathers. We must raise a choir of voices declaring; America must stand on the values that made us great. Only then the politically blind shall see and the deaf shall hear!" Dale Robertson.
The Power of One can change a nation, save a people and illuminate a generation. Much like Tiananmen Square, Dale stood alone representing the American people. He was more than a lone protestor; he was what the Founding Fathers envisioned over 200 years before as a true Patriot of courage and valor.
Dale Robertson recalls that momentous time...
"I left home in Texas on February 4th, 2009 and drove all night to Washington D.C., non-stop against my families, friends and wife's wishes. I slept only an hour that night and called my wife as I crossed into each state. The next evening on February 5th, 2009, I was in Washington D.C. on Pennsylvania Avenue protesting, alone and cold.
The urgency of my protest was due to the befuddled politicians gathering votes on the floor of the Senate and then on the floor of the House of Representatives. Their sightless determination to force an Unconstitutional Stimulus package through the Senate and then the House of Representatives, to me, was a death pill to all I hold dear, and I knew millions of Americans felt the same way.
In spite of the frigid weather, I stood my post. I was unprepared and improperly dressed to protest in below freezing conditions. I had brought my picnic table and chairs knowing this would not be easy, parking would be difficult, staying alive even harder. Still recovering from extensive knee surgery just 3 months before, I purposed in my heart to make my voice heard. I set-up my table and displays in one location after another across frozen Washington, D.C. holding high the flag for all disenfranchised American Citizens. It was very painful, but I am a Marine and could endure what was required of me by my Oath to Defend the Constitution.
Each night I would listen to the News and soon the news of my lone stand began to quietly spread through media circles. Glenn Beck heard of this new voice called the Tea Party and added his voice to the growing choir of voices, soon he created the 9/12 idea. My hat is off to him, Glenn Beck is a friend to the cause and a loyal Patriot bearing the weight for millions of those who are yet to speak.
Soon other fearless Patriots began to join me in our solitary stance; I felt the Tea was cooking. I made it a point to speak to the gathering crowds, and eventually spoke to thousands of warm hearted Citizens in that frigid weather. I could feel it! The young, the old, all colors and backgrounds began to rally with a new energy, an energy which I have only seen in historical pictures in American history books. A new energy began to sweep across hundreds of Patriots, swelling to the thousands. I witnessed Citizens on cell phones calling their loved ones telling them; "We must take back our nation". Some had laptops, running on their battery back-ups blogging messages to family and Patriots back home. I was deeply moved right down to my soul. The new voice began to speak, and new hope was spawned.
I knew the Tea Party concept was far superior, because it removed all the obstacles of party lines, without the baggage of confused issues and only focused on a few talking points.
Needless to say, this Tea Party movement has grown far beyond me, from 1 person to over 6 million. Many following in my foot steps, some declaring they are the founder, they thought of the Tea Party idea first, to that I can say: "The true founders of the Tea Party were the brave Patriots who dared challenge the status quo in 1773, we are merely their beneficiaries."
I took my stand, thousands joined me, and then millions assembled across our beloved nation. Soon tens of millions of Patriot voices will resonate in unison "We The People Rule."
From this humble beginning a movement was born. The Tea Party movement, born from obscurity, without funding, without planning, a spontaneous force is shaking the very glass foundation of the oligarchy who rules in our name, but without our blessing."
"As for me, I am old fashioned, I believe it is not foolish to pledge my life, liberty and sacred honor to the greatest nation that ever was or ever will be. The nation of the people, by the people and for the people, to that I shall strive to carry forward the mantle of the Tea Party keeping alive the voice of freedom."
Dale Robertson, President and Founder - Tea Party
